#9421: Problems and workarounds when installing and using a 32bit GHC on 64bit Linux machine -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: MikolajKonarski MikolajKonarski | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Installing | Blocked By: GHC failed | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): Yes, I looked into the cabal linker flags issue too, but forgot to mention it, sorry! Indeed there were several changes between 7.6.3 and 7.8 but cabal was not updated accordingly. (There was some minor fallout on the GHC side also, see #9614.) I think best is to update cabal to parse the new (7.8) fields if present and if not fall back on the old (7.6.3) fields. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9421#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
